SYRINGE.

Specification of Letters Patent.

7 Application filed April 20, 1910. Serial No. 556,472.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, VIRGINIA WV. PIPER, a citizen of the United States, residing at Jamestown, in the county of Chautauqua and State of New York, have invented new and useful Improvements in Syringes, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to syringe attachments which are particularly adaptable for fountain syringes.

The object of the invention is to provide an attachment for the ordinary fountain syringes which may be placed upon the piping adjacent the syringe tube or nozzle in such a manner as to receive the fluid expelled from the rectum or vagina and guide the same into a receptacle, and a still fur ther object is the provision of means carried by the attachment for manipulating the derice and which may be operated to cut oi the flow of fluid from the piping.

Further objects of the invention will appear as the following specific description is read in connection with the accompanying drawing which forms a part of this applica tion, and in which:

Figure 1 is a perspective view of the device with the handle shown in operative position for inserting the syringe tube. Fig. 2 is a longitudinal sectional view. Fig. 3 is a transverse sectional view on the line 38 of Fig. 1. Fig. 4c is a perspective view showing in detail the alternative position of the handle when used to cut off the flow of fluid.

Referring more particularly to the drawing, 1 represents the ordinary syringe nozzle and 2, the rubber piping leading therefrom either to a compression bulb or to a rubber water bottle. The attachment which is applied to the syringe comprises a funnelshaped member 3 having one of its sides formed into a discharge spout 1 and its edges curved over into a retaining flange 5 which prevents the fluid used from coming out of the funnel except at the spout 4. Projecting rearwardly from the funnelshaped member 3 is a piping tube 6 which is substantially semi-cylindrical in cross section and which is provided with bearing filled with water or other fluid and the bandle shown in Fig. 1, the nozzle 1 is inserted in the vagina or rectum until the cup-shaped flange of the body 3 contacts with the person. The handle is now in the position shown in Fig. 1 and forms a ready support to hold the device in place at the same time permitting the water to flow through the piping 2 and the nozzle 1 to the affected parts. The fluid which flows out of the vagina or rectum runs into the funnel-shaped body 3 and is discharged out the spout 1 into a receptacle placed in position for that purpose.

Heretofore in the use of vaginal syringes, the fluid which was used after coming out of the vagina or rectum, was discharged promiscuously and frequently soiled the hands, the floor or any other thing with which it came in contact, especially were the fluid of a caustic nature. lVhen it is desired to stop the flow of fluid the handle is depressed to the position shown in Fig. 4 which will bring the cam extension 11 into engagement with the piping and pinch the same against the inner side of the tube 6. This will stop the flow and permit the syringe to be withdrawn.

Having thus described the invention, what is claimed is- 1. In combination with the nozzle and flexible tubing of a syringe, of an attachment therefor comprising a funnel-shaped member, and a handle pivoted thereon for manipulating the syringe and cutting off the supply of fluid to the tubing.

2. In combination with the nozzle and flexible tubing of a syringe, of an attachlnent therefor comprising a funnel-shaped In testimony whereof aflix my signamember, ahandle pivoted upon the funnelture in presence of two Witnesses. shaped member adapted for the manipulw VIRGINIA W PIPER tion of the syringe, and an eccentric eXteni sion on the handle adapted to compress the WVitnesses: flexible tubing and cut off the fluid to the WM. C. PIPER, syringe. J. M. WVULEN.
